Blood Red

Summary:

Years before the VKs' arrival at Auradon Prep was even contemplated, Petra Müller's parents were murdered. She vanished and wasn’t heard from again for years. That is, until she appeared at Auradon Prep's gates, having lost all memory of her previous years' whereabouts. She is enrolled at the school by Prince Ben, but Petra is aware that she does not belong there for a variety of reasons. The primary one is her new normal, which she is still unsure of how to manage.

Petra longs to track down her parent's killer and hold them accountable for their actions, but they are still hiding in the woods. Will her new friends be able to assist her in achieving this goal, or will Ben come to regret allowing Petra to leave Auradon Prep?

Notes:

Well, hello, everyone! This is a story detailing the life of Petra Müller and her friends. It is specifically a retelling of Descedants 1, the other ones will follow in separate books. As mentioned above, this is a darker retelling of these movies including murder and swearing, basically some adult themes. So, if that's not something you can handle or want to read, I recommend not doing so. However, if you are interested, I wish you a lot of fun delving into the Outisders series and thank you for reading!

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

Once upon a time, a young girl went into the woods to visit her grandmother. In addition to wearing a blood-red cape that was designed to keep her warm and warn hunters of her presence so they would not shoot her, she carried a small basket filled with bread, wine, and poundcake that her mother had specially put together.

On her way to her grandmother's cottage, a man approached her with such a menacing aura that the little girl quickly ended their conversation and pushed herself forward faster to get to her grandmother's house, and you know the rest of the story.

Long after she had grown up, Little Red Riding Hood married Peter, a village friend, and they had a daughter named Petra.

They lived in her late grandmother's cottage for many years, knowing that the werewolf that had once eaten her and her grandmother had long since been killed by the hunter who continued to prowl the woods to protect the locals and neighboring kingdoms.

One fateful day, Red and Peter were cornered by another werewolf while on a family outing intended to allow little Petra to engage in her favorite outdoor activities. Little is known about the aftermath. Nobody survived to share the tale.

Or so the king's guard thought. You see, the official narrative was that the werewolf ate little Petra and killed Red and Peter, leaving no one to be buried. The truth, however, was different. A deep leg scratch and an abrupt, challenging new identity were involved.

This brand-new Little Red Riding Hood tale opens with a filthy, nude girl sprawled out in front of the Auradon Preparatory School's gates.
